Close the loop at the end of the row with knitting needles. How to finish knitting: learn to close the last row. How to close the loop with needles

The days when knitting was necessary in everyday life needlework, are long gone. Despite this, the number of skilled knitters is only growing. At the peak of popularity, unique hand-made things? Almost all needlewomen are interested in the question: how to finish knitting? There are many ways to close the last row.

How to finish knitting?

• The easiest way to properly finish knitting, remove the edge of the fabric into a pigtail. In this case, the first two loops are knitted together. It turns out 1 loop. It is transferred to the left knitting needle. Next, knit it and the next loop together. So close all the loops of the series. Through the last loop pull thread. Then it is cut and hidden on the wrong side.
• To choose a way to complete knitting, you need to decide what will be the edge finished product. It can be elastic and not stretchable.

• When closing the neck and slats usually use the Italian method. Simply put, it is pulling a needle and thread through loops. In this case, they are sheathed. The edge remains elastic. Most of all, this method is suitable for a canvas bound by a 1 by 1 rubber band. In this case, the edge does not stretch. The length of the thread for closure should be 3 times longer than the web. It is inserted into the needle with a blunt tip. Introduce the needle into the first loop. It moves from right to left. We stretch the thread, remove the loop from the needle. Introduce the needle through one loop. We stretch the thread from right to left. In this case, the loop does not descend, leaving on the needle. Introduce the needle into the previous missed loop. The movement is performed from right to left. We stretch the thread. We remove from the spokes two loops through which the thread was passed. We skip the thread through the next 4th loop from left to right, we insert the needle into the last lowered loop, on the contrary, from right to left. Remove the loop. We skip one loop and insert the needle into the next. Repeat the steps above. In this way there is one secret. To make the edge look more accurate, the last 2 rows are knitted with smaller diameter needles.
• In order to pocket or neck, or rather its cut, ironed carefully, you can close them with a jagged line. First, two loops knit on the pattern. Then the left needle is inserted into the first loop on the right needle for the front wall. A second loop is pulled through it. It turned out to close one loop. Close another in the same way. The resulting 2 loops are transferred to the left needle. On the right knit dial 2 loops. Close 4 loops: 2 transferred to the left needle and 2 dialed. This way we close the whole row. Through the remaining last loop to stretch the thread, fasten and tear it.
• Straight shoulder seams can be closed with 3 spokes. In this case, two canvases remain on two spokes. Spokes held in his left hand. They are directed in one direction, are parallel to each other. From one of the paintings leaves the thread. You can use the thread from the new coil. In the right hand we take the 3rd knitting needle. With the right knitting needle we hook both first loops on the left knitting needles. We draw a thread through them. It turns out that we knit both loops. On the right spoke remained 1 loop. In the same way knit the following 2 loops. We get the resulting new loop through the loop left on the right spoke. We knit it until the end of the edge. Pull the thread through the last loop. We tighten it and fasten.
• Sometimes it is necessary to close the loops so that a smooth contour is formed. Usually, armholes of sleeves are formed this way. In this case, the steps from closed loops  look sloppy. This method affects 2 rows. In the first loop closed in the usual wayby pulling one over the other. In the second row you need to remove the 1st loop. The second knit on the pattern. Stretch the removed 1st through the 2nd loop. Knit to the end of the row. Secure and trim the thread.

How to finish a row?

Loops can be closed on a pattern. So gum 1 on 1 finish in the following way. 1st loop knit facial, 2nd purl. Pull the front through the purl loop. A new loop knit facial, the next - purl. Stretch the purl through the front. Alternate these methods and close the entire row to the end. Thanks to this method closed loops  will lie flat along the edge of the finished web.

A closed edge may look different. If you finish knitting on the front side, then the resulting edge will lie on top. On the wrong side, on the contrary, it will be less visible.

After closing the knitting tail is formed from the thread. It can be used to staple the fabric. In this case, it is better to leave the thread longer. The length of the thread depends on the thickness of the yarn and the diameter of your knitting needles. If you do not need to stitch, then the thread is cut and neatly hidden on the wrong side of the canvas.

In some cases it is better to use a needle when closing the last row. This method gives the edge of elasticity, which is simply necessary for some parts of clothing (for example, for neck). In addition, needle-like closures are used when they want the first and last row to look the same.

In order to connect one part with another, it is not necessary to close the last row. There is a method that will facilitate the completion of the product. Knit to the last row. We do not close it, but simply cut off the thread. Knit auxiliary thread another row or even several rows. We remove the canvas from the spokes. The edge of our knitting is subjected to heat treatment. We put a gauze on it and iron it with an iron with steam. We dismiss the rows connected by an additional thread. We have an ironed knitting edge. Hinges slightly elongated. Next, connect the item with another item knitted stitch.

In openwork work, the loop is better not to close immediately after the pattern. It is much more convenient to finish knitting, knitting another 1 row of facial ones. Then this row is closed in any convenient way.

If the fabric is connected with a purl, then close the knitting as follows: the first 2 loops are knitted with purl. Further edge pulls through the 2nd. The next loop knit purl. Stretch the previous loop through it. Knit this way to the end of the row.

In some cases, the hook becomes an excellent helper in closing the last row. It is especially convenient to pull them through one loop through the other.

In order to finish a row faster, you can replace the working needle with a needle of a larger diameter. For this purpose, you can choose it several sizes larger.

In some parts it is required to close the hinges at the same time. The easiest way to make it look like this. At the beginning of the row we close the required number of loops, knitting them 2 together. After that, knit on the pattern to the end of the row. At the beginning of the next row, close the number of loops that should have been closed at the end of the previous row. After uneven knitting will be a little noticeable.

How to finish knitting? It all depends on what part you knit. Closing with a needle (Italian method) is usually used to create an elastic edge. The method is suitable for closing armholes and necks. Universal closure method - knitting 2 loops together. At the same time on the edge of the web a pigtail is formed. Also, the method of closing a row depends on how the pattern is related to the part.

In the description of the model it is said that I should close the loops on the seamy side, knitting them with facial ones. What does this mean?

Tie a row of loops on the front side, as usual. At the end of the row, turn the knitting over so that the wrong side is turned towards you. Now close the loops, as usual, knitting each face of the loop, pulling through the previous loop and removing the closed loop from the knitting needle. If you want to close the loops with purses, knit the loops not with facial but with purl; you will have a characteristic chain along the edge on the opposite side from you.

In the description of the model it is said that it is necessary to close the loops with an elastic band. How can I do it?

When closing the loops, knit them with an elastic band, knitting facial loops with facial loops, and pursing them with purl. For example, for a 1x1 elastic, knit the front first loop, the next loop, knit it in the wrong direction, then stretch front loop  through the purl. The next loop on the left knitting needle is the front one, so knit it with the front one, then stretch the purl loop through the front one. Continue to close the loops along the entire row. If you close the loops with a rubber band, then the chain of closed loops will be located along the edge of the canvas, and not lie in relief along the front side.

I do not like the chain that forms along the edge of the knitted fabric after I fasten the loops. Can I get rid of it?

If you close the loops as standard, the chain will always be formed, but it does not have to be located on the front side. You can close the loops with the purlins (or on the other side of the canvas), and then the chain forms at the back. Or you can close the loop with a rubber band, and then the chain is formed along the edge, and not on the front side. You can also use other techniques, such as looping with a needle or a stitched edge.

On which side should I close the loop - on the front or on the back?

It depends on how you want to see a closed edge. If, closing the loops, you knit them with facial ones, the chain of closed loops will be on the side turned to you. If you want the chain to be on the front side, then close the hinges so that the front side is facing you. If you prefer the chain to be on the seamy side, then close the hinges, turning the knit to the seamy side. Remember that if the edge goes into the seam or becomes the bottom of the hem, it will be hidden, and the look of the closed edge does not matter.

What should I do with a trimmed yarn tail after fixing the loops?

If in this place you will sew a seam, leave a long tail and sew a seam with it. In other cases, closing the edge, hide the ends of the threads on the seamy side of the knitting.

Is it possible to dissolve the last closed row?

Yes. Using the tip of the needle, pull the cut thread through the last loop. Pull on the tail - and the closed edge will bloom. If the yarn is a little tangled (tangled) and does not loose freely, carefully cut only tangled fibers with sharp scissors.

When I fix the last row, the edge turns out to be too dense. What should I do?

This is because the hinges must lie sideways on the edge of the web, but the width facial loops  more than their height, so the closed hinges, of course, are a bit more tightened compared to the hinges under closed next. Here are some tips that can help you.

Use the larger number needles (or crochet hook) to close the loops. This automatically makes the loops a little more, so they stretch more along the edge. Be sure to form each loop on the straight side of the spokes, and not on its tip.

Close the hinges loosely. Each time, closing the loop, slightly raise the right needle, straighten the loop, and then knit the next loop. If you knit tightly while closing the row, suppress the urge to tighten each loop.

Try a different way to fasten the loops. Fastening hinges with a double crochet, fastening the loops with a needle or fastening the loops of hollow knitting is much freer and more elastic than the basic method of closing the loops.

What is the best way to fix the last row of lace or lace?

To get a regular, but very free row of closed loops, fasten the crocheted loops. If you crochet, you can close the loops with the same crochet. You can close one loop at a time, or you can work with a group of hinges and decorative trim.

What type of loop fastening is the most stretched?

Fastening the loops of hollow knitting, if you do it freely, although often such fastening leads to a loss of the shape of the product. The fastening of the double-stitched loops is elastic and keeps its shape better.

Is it possible to make the last closed row match the dial edge?

Fastening the hinges with a needle is best combined with a typesetting edge; in addition, you can control its tension, making the edge freer or tighter.

I knitted a pattern with braids. How can I fix the last row so that the edge does not wrinkle and stand out?

Spit significantly retract the canvas. So that the closed edge does not turn out like a fan, reduce one or two loops at the top of each braid. This can be done, either when you close the loop, or in the previous row. You can experiment with loop reduction when you close the sample.

Can I tie the hem by closing the last row?

Yes. Knit the front stitch to the edge of the part. To keep the item neatly folded, just continue to knit the face with a satin stitch. To make a straight and flat fold, knit one or two rows with a purl stitch (two rows form a more embossed edge). To get a jagged edge, on the crotch, the whole row should be knitted with the following repeating pattern: 1 nakid, 2 knit loops together on the front. Then knit again with the front satin stitch until the length of the web above the fold is equal to the length of the canvas under the fold. Cut the thread, leaving the tail, which will be convenient to sew the hem. To join the two layers of fabric, bend the edge inward. Thread the yarn into the needle and insert it into each loop on the knitting needle and into each loop of the knitted piece. You can also very freely close the edge of the web and then sew it to the edge, but then the edge will be more voluminous.

To make the edge less voluminous, tie the inner layer of the edge with a thinner yarn, use fewer loops, or go to smaller-sized knitting needles.

I knitted a pattern with the addition and decrease of loops. How do I fix the last row to make it look beautiful?

You must close "by pattern." As you knit a row, you should not knit the loops with facial loops, but knit them exactly according to the pattern. For example, if you knit a rubber band, continue to knit the front and back loops, closing the row. At the same time, you can continue to partially or completely subtract and add loops.

Take for example tracery pattern  "grid". On the seamy side you knit all the loops in the seams. On the front side, your pattern consists of nakidov and decrease loops. Every time you have two loops on the right spoke, pull the right loop through the left loop even if the left loop is a nakid. When you need to turn down the loop, for example, knit 2 loops together with the front one, make a subtraction, then pull the right loop through the subtracting loop. Although the difference between closing loops in a pattern and regular closing loops is almost indistinguishable, loops are less tilted when you close them in a pattern.

How do I get rid of the “ladder” when I close the loops in several rows?

When you knit armholes, shoulders and neckline, you often have to close the loops in groups, as a result, the beveled edge is a “ladder” (Figure 14). On the other hand, if you create a smooth diagonal edge, it is easier to sew and type loops over it.

You can align the edge by removing the first loop of each group and then closing it. To do this, close the first loop group as usual. When it comes time to close the next group of loops, remove the first loop, as with facial knitting. Knit the front face next loop. Pull the loop through the front loop, and then remove it from the knitting needle. Continue to close the remaining hinges as usual (Figure 15).
